Nathan did an outstanding job. His knowledge and explanations of work to be done was impressive. Additional fence and tree removal work was also completed with great results. A complete cleaning job was done, including tiles and furniture. Highly recommend his services !!

They cleaned black Moss off my cement roof, power washed my house and cleaned my windows inside and out. Not only was the work done excellently, but the team of people working for Dan couldn't have been more professional and courteous. They even did some extras on the pressure cleaning (bleaching white columns with mold) to make it come out perfectly.

Quickly knocked out cleaning the tile roof and a back sound barrier wall. I was skeptical at first due to the great price and the “no pressure” but he uses a trailer with special chemicals. He worked quickly and did quality work.

Thank you Leo for being honest by telling me and my husband that we only have one layer of shingles on our roof and we could apply a second layer of shingles which you and your team saved us a whole lot of money and you met our spending budget when other contractors told us we had to remove the complete shingles and start by scratch.
Leo and he's team was very honest clean and on time.
I highly recommend Leo and will use him again.

Excellent communication about the job; arrived on time and got right to work; did a great job pressure washing the roof, walls, driveway, patio, and went beyond to get the fence and gutter area too. Everything looks super clean and ready to be painted. Neighbors should all be jealous!

Pretty satisfied. They came by quick and gave me a reasonable price for tree trimming and pressure cleaning two large fences and a sidewalk. They did it fast too. May use them again to paint the fence.

Very knowledgable!!! Definitely knows his stuff. I thought I had a roof problem. He told me my issue was from an upstairs bathroom. I didn't agree at first because of the location of the problem; but it turns out it was an issue in the bathroom solved by a tube of caulk. Saved me $1000 on un-necessary roof repair. Very honest and told me other things I should look for in the house.

Luciano and Tulio are amazing!!! Very very professional and honest men. Luciano was very punctual and gave his honest opinion every step of the way. I was very nervous about the popcorn removal in my home because there was a ceiling issue due to a roof leak but Luciano and Tulio exceeded my expectations. I was so happy with my popcorn removal and the finishing look. I will highly recommend them to my family and friends. I will be hiring them again. #VeryHappyClient

Norman did a great job. I had bought the materials for a custom pet door. He looked at the materials and the space in which it was to be constructed. He quickly went to work and finished the job in record time. He was very polite and knows his business. I will definitely hire Norman again!

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Why do I need to clean my roof?

Over time, algae, moss, lichen, dirt and even salt (if you’re near the ocean) can build up on your roof. These buildups can affect the look and function of your roof unless removed. The buildup of organic materials such as moss on a shingle roof can prevent water from sloughing off as it normally would. Trapped water can rot the roof or cause early deterioration of your shingles. Even if you don’t have a shingle roof, moss and lichen absorb water, and that wet material adds weight and stress to your roof — as well as providing a home for insects and other pests, and collecting dirt. For reflective, cool roofs that redirect heat away from the home, algae and moss growths can hamper their ability to deflect the sun, which can affect utility bills. Visually, moss, dirt and algae growths on a roof can have a negative effect on perceived home value and curb appeal. For example, black algae streaks on your roof may cause a potential homebuyer to assume that the roof might need repair or replacement, when it only needs to be cleaned.

Can a roof be cleaned?

Yes roofs can be cleaned, and yes, it’s a real thing. Roof cleaning may actually be a wise investment to prolong the life of your roof. Overgrowth of moss, grime, lichen or algae can all shorten the life of your roof. If you have black streaks growing on your roof, they are likely caused by gloeocapsa magma algae spores that have landed on your roof and taken up residence. Once the algae has grown into streaks, the organism has usually been growing for several months and it’s high time to have it removed. If you live in a rainy part of the country, such as the Pacific Northwest, there’s a good chance you’ll find moss growing on your roof at some point. The northern part of your roof, as well as any parts that remain shaded all day, will provide a wet, cool haven for moss to flourish. Unfortunately this water-absorbing moss can damage your shingle roof, leading to rot if not removed. Beyond roof health and function, a clean roof can boost your curb appeal and potentially boost your home’s resale value. The national average for roof cleaning costs ranges between $270 and $350, although prices can be higher depending on how large your roof is, how steep your roof is, and what type of cleaning is necessary. Typically pros use either a pressure wash or chemical wash (made with a concentrated bleach solution) to remove algae, lichen, moss and dirt.

What chemicals are used to clean roofs?

Roof cleaning is done to remove moss, lichen, algae, and buildup of other grime and dirt. There are several methods for roof cleaning, which can include a chemical soft wash, pressure washing, low-pressure washing and hand washing. When a chemical soft wash is used, a bleach mixture is sprayed onto the roof. The bleach-based solution is absorbed by the algae or moss, which dies from exposure to the chemical. The roof is then sprayed with a low-pressure rinse of water, which loosens the now-dead material, allowing it to slide off the roof.

For homeowners, the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends a mixture of 50 percent laundry-strength liquid chlorine bleach and 50 percent water. Professional roof cleaning companies will use an industrial mixture that is still safe but may be more effective in eliminating algae and moss growths. Asphalt shingle roofs are the most common type of roof, but each roofing material will have its own cleaning needs, so it’s best to consult with your roofing pro before diving in. Don’t do it yourself unless you can safely navigate your roof, the chemicals and a sprayer system. When in doubt, leave it to the pros.

How much does it cost to clean a roof?

The national average for roof cleaning costs ranges between $270 and $350. Factors that can affect the cost to clean your roof are the height of your house, the size and pitch (steepness) of your roof, and the complexity of your roof’s design and accessibility. Geographic location also plays a role in roof cleaning costs as regional labor rates and area costs to do business will vary. There are several ways to clean a roof. The most common is pressure washing. Industrial pressure washers can spray over 3,000 pounds per square inch (psi) of water — which is much too powerful for roof cleaning, and may tear off shingles and damage your roof. Confirm that the roof-cleaning pro you choose will only use a low-pressure sprayer to protect your roof investment. For large algae or moss growths, pros often recommend a combination of low-pressure washing with a bleach-based chemical solution. This is referred to soft washing and should handily remove any growths taking over your roof.
